DoA run, monking for the usual 10/8 5 ursan/3monks run, seems like a good group right off the bat, we vote on which area we start in (Foundry), everyone's social and have their cons.

We head in Foundry and I notice the ele's taking a lot more damage than casters take normally. He's got Primeval armor, so not his armor level. He's up front and we think it might be why. Anyways, he's dying, he aggroes uncessary mobs, can't follow calls. By the last room, us monks have more than enough and want to know WTF's going on with him. Turns out he's R3 Norn (well here's why he was taking so much damage!), but apparently he's (hear this!) used to solo monk this with R1 ursans, which gets the team a couple laughs.

Group moves on nonetheless, but I notice a lone dot at my left... I highlight: the ele (duh) and he's standing in a patrol's way (doh) while the group has aggroed another group (great...). Ele dies before attacking.

Then he starts ranting at the monks. We refuse to res him, along with the rest of group. He stays in the zone, saying on how he's gonna leech anyways and get res'ed at the end of the area (yeah right). Half through the room he starts pinging like mad, so a couple people report him while others put him on their ignore list. He calms down until he realizes that we are NOT gonna res him, that he is NOT gonna get res'ed automatically, then just leaves.

Thing is that we still had FUN within the run. The rest of the group was really pleasant to be with and there was no sour feelings even when another raged after aggroing more than the group could handle. We were forced to resign, but no one was mad. We just laughed, said "gg was fun while it lasted" and I think they continued... I took a break to write this x].

Many many times, we usually play with friends/guildies (same thing) and if you cant laugh when it all goes pear shaped then you shouldnt be playing together, we feel.

My funniest n00b mistake is helping a friend do Thead Keep after just having bought NF armor and, you guessed it, never in a million years waking up to the fact that now I wasnt infused. Halfway through I figured it out and said "Uh..guys..I think I have a problem..". Hilarity ensued, the best player of the group and the only tank isnt infused. I laughed just as hard, we tried it anyway and made it although I munched candy canes like, well, candy

Thats what gaming is for, fun!

Back in the day before they fixed item tanking, our warrior tank in FoW through his failure to use the Unholy text to draw aggro proclaimed: "Guys, the book is broken, I think we should take it back."

I didn't care that we all wiped a few minutes later, as I was still laughing about it with my girlfriend who was playing with me in the same party.

OHHHH!
That's what 10/8 means!
I have no idea why I never connected the idea that one number is for the norn title and the other for the lightbringer one.
I always though it was rank 8 to 10 in norn.

Thanks for that spark that set my mind on active mode!

Oh, yeah. I laugh in situations that go: "as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb" or "In for a cent, in for a Euro" (XD)

We have been wiped six times, we have around 60% DP. SO, who cares? Let's yell 'For Kournaaaa!!!' and go berserk against the monsters. It's funnier than using /resign.

It's not fun when It's all fault of a single character, but it's funny when we are just playing around a bit.
